One of the ways I ensure that my group is clear on the common purpose is by telling them the activity/project we are doing and making sure that they understand the purpose. I demonstrated that skill in the activity in the image above by briefing my group members and went over the plan for the activity. If we had any questions, we asked the teacher to clear our doubts. During the activity, we encountered some problems such as going off-track during our task, and forgetting the words needed. We took a few breaks to get back on track and completed the activity. We also checked in with our peers to make sure we were doing everything right.
Titration is a technique used to find the amount of an aqueous solution required to have a complete reaction with another aqueous solution. In this lab, titration was used to find the milliliters of NaOH (Sodium Hydroxide) required to neutralize HCl (Hydrochloric acid). Phenolphthalein was used as an indicator to tell us when we were nearing the endpoint of the titration. The endpoint of a titration is the point where the reaction is complete and adding more of the reactant will make the pH indicator change color. The endpoint of this titration was when the indicator (phenolphthalein) turned light pink and was taking time to turn clear. The purpose of this lab was to find the molarity of the hydrochloric acid. The molarity was calculated to be 0.134M ± 1.1%.
CommunicationCC: During this lab, me and my partner Deven, communicated with each other and distributed our work load evenly to execute the lab efficiently. We communicated with other groups to compare and contrasts our results and asked each other questions if we had any. For next time, we would pre-plan the strategy for the lab to make the lab more efficient and the work load on us lighter. We would also practice our technique more next time to make the lab work more accurate.
Is violence justified during a revolution or protest?
A) How did the use of AI assist you in developing this project AI helped me find sources and valid data sets of information. It also helped me correct any mistakes I may have made while writing my paragraphs and rebuttals.
B) How did you ensure that the work you created was still your own, rather than just a product of the AI. I understood what AI had to say for the information i provided it with and then I summarized it and wrote my response based on what I read.
C) Did you agree with the position you had to argue? Why or why not? Yes, I agree with the position I had. I agree with it because violence is never the answer and it can’t solve things and leave a positive impact at the same time. Most of the time, violence has killed innocent people such as the Israel-Hamas war or the French Revolution.
Core Competency Reflection
Examples of where I communicate clearly and purposefully can be seen when i communicated with my partner to find resources and ways from where we can get more information and improve our data to have more accurate and good information.
When I need to work collaboratively with people I don’t know well, I start a conversation and eventually lead up to the project and ask them questions about it. This helps me and them not feel awkward and weird when we ask each other questions.
· Why is it important to remember who benefits from the advertisement when you view an advertisement?
The person benefiting from the advertisement might not be a good person and may use the profits towards a bad cause. The advertiser might also not be actually promising the features of the product and is just using fake points.
· Choose one form of persuasion and explain why it is effective in persuading you/an audience: logical, ethical, emotional
Ethical because it uses the reference of a trusted adult and we know to trust them because they are well known in their profession such as doctors, nurses, technicians, etc.
· Choose an advertising technique and explain why it is effective in selling a product.
An advertisement technique that is effective is emotional as it convinces us to buy that product and plays with our emotions by using words and phrases such as “buying this would feed a child” or something like that. This makes think less before buying that product.
Core Competency Reflection
One strategy or activity that stimulated my imagination on this project was using other forms of advertisements that are already published to be my reference points. Other advertisements are created by professionals and are usually very convincing. I used some features of those ads and merged them into mine to give my ad a professional look.
I used to think that advertisements were just videos created by very normal people and the people in the ads used to say the truth. After learning all the techniques and strategies ad makers use, I realized that everything shown is not true.
I selected words for persuading my target audience by selecting words that made the viewer feel more confident. My hearing toque ad had several phrases like not letting someone die, recommended by every winning tribute, etc. This would give the viewer a sense of trust on our product and would want to buy it.
